Stop complaining and start changing

By Arnia Kiara Oosthuizen

Millennium Lady is on her soapbox again.

STOP COMPLAINING AND START CHANGING!!! 

If you say that your life is chaos or crappy. If you complain of things not going your way. Guess what? It is your fault. Yep, you heard me. IT IS YOUR FAULT! Not mine nor your parents, who abused you or who mistreated you. You decide how you lead your life after the bad times. You decide how your day is gonna be and whether or not your boss is gonna get you down.

Why is Millennium Lady on her soapbox again? Because all around me people are complaining of the crappy relationships they are in or always complaining of their lives being chaos. The same people are complaining of the same circumstances for years. Your friends' and my ears are tired of listening to the record player on repeat. Please choose a new album.

You are the one who can change your circumstances and your outlook on life. And I'm going to throw in my life quote: "Happiness is an inside job" and so is everything else! 

Stop complaining and start changing!

The importance of 'I'

By Arnia Kiara Oosthuizen

I, is a very important word. Why? Because it all starts with YOU. With me.

I really think I should become an ambassador for this quote, because I've been promoting it and using it constantly. This quote has been a symbol to me since my life made a change for the better, and my life made a change for the better, because I realized that HAPPINESS IS AN INSIDE JOB!

Yes, Millenium Lady is preaching again or as I would like to call it: Soapbox! Constantly, I hear friends complainig that their significant others are not making them happy.
Now, the problem is that I don't go into a relationship to make someone happy for the duration of that relationship. I go into that relationship, because I like them. It is not your task to make someone happy and it is also not their task to make you happy! You have to contribute to each other's happiness, not take it from unhappiness to happiness.

YOU! YOU! YOU! You are responsible for being happy. You determine your own future. You have to realize that YOU determining how your life is. No one made the choices for you. If you don't like where you are in life or about the choices you made: Today is a good day to start changing it.

We all have our off-days, when we'd rather stay in bed, watch movies and eat ice-cream out of a tub and that is perfectly fine. But today is a really good day to make a change for the better. The catch is: YOU have to make that change alone. No one is going to change for you or will be changed by you. YOU have to be the change. If you want the world to change, you have to be the change. Start with the person in the mirror- wise advice from the legend Michael Jackson and here is the video- you're welcome!

My challenge for you is to make you own happiness and just be happy!
Peace, love and everything nice!
